Hi @aaron-lebo,

Mattermost team here, would welcome any feedback on how we could improve.

Here's a demo of Mattermost features vs Slack as FYI: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKqHWqrAgpk

Hey, thanks.

I had some confusion with the install. It seems the Docker install is favored, but not using a lot of Docker stuff I went with the gitlab-omnibus install on Ubuntu 16.10.

It worked but I didn't feel especially comfortable with it, there were a number of steps. That's vague enough be useless and it could have just been my own ignorance. What is the suggested install if that isn't too basic of a question?

I also had issues with it not liking users sending rather large files but I believe that's an odd use case.

I would use it again but the simplicity of Slack (no setup and no management) won out for now.
